Latest readings on pool showed
FC-3
CC-.5
PH-7.8
TA- 50
CYA-30
I have had little bit of algae show up and wanted to knock it out. I know CYA is low and I have more to put in. I will also bring pool up to Slam to get rid of this algae.
My question is this. According to the SWG balance I need to get my pH to around 7.6 (which calls for 9oz of acid) and my TA to around 70 (which calls for 127 oz baking soda). In reading I know that lowering pH with acid will also reduce my TA. Does the pool calculator already take that in consideration with the recommendation of 9 oz of acid or do I need to plan on adding more baking soda? Should I even adjust pH. Is there away to lower pH and not affect TA? Thanks for your help.
